Salt and Sanctuary

Salt and Sanctuary”, the “fourth” game by Ska Studios, is a 2D hardcore action RPG that blends the brutal signature combat of The Dishwasher with an unforgiving world of demons and dungeons, traps and treasure, and gallows and graveyards.

Game

Overview

Shipwrecked on a mysterious island in the sea that lies between nations at war, a faceless sailor must fight to survive. Salt and Sanctuary is the hardcore action RPG side scroller from Ska Studios, the creators of The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile and Charlie Murder. Salt and Sanctuary combines deep character building and customization with Ska Studios’ signature style: richly stylized and hand-drawn environments and animated 2D characters, precise controls, and fair but brutal gameplay in a hauntingly beautiful universe.
